Rd23: Parra v Storm GAME DAY thread 17/8/18

[Noise]

Only his kicking

His whole game was poor (He wasn't alone there.)

Not a bad pack on the sidelines

8 Mannah
9 Kaysa
10 Alvaro
11 Mau
12 Scott
13 Trex

14 K Edwards

Was that our round 1 forward pack?

This was against a team that had a player binned for 10 minutes, lost their beat player and their best middle. It wasn’t just his kicking.

He ran for 68 m which is pretty good for a half!! His forwards gave him no room for attacking and Norman struggled

 

[Gronk]

He needs to dig into the line more and play smart. He shouldn't be running sideways like he does even if he doesn't have room. Straighten up.

Line speed. Storm are one metre from you as the ball lands in your hands. The space from this week to last week is enormous.

 

[Chipmunk]

Only his kicking

Moses is either going to do things flash or he's going to be woeful. He's the last player in the squad I'd want to rely on to get us into a position to be a contender.

Moses is all about Moses. I'm not sure you can have a 7 like that and achieve anything that resembles long term success.

 

[Happy MEel]

The effort was definitely there. I think our If Jennings doesn’t fart arse around in the line, that try gets given and we’re back in the game.

Moses is a downhill skier, just like Norman.

That’s a pretty good analogy. You can perhaps afford to have one of these in your spine if they’re not your primary playmaker and organiser.

Last week the dragons got penalised for that. This week....

 

[hineyrulz]

Moses tries to be far to fancy, he doesn’t play tough or do the hard yards.


The emergence of Dylan Brown cant come soon enough.

I’d say their wrestle had as big, if not bigger impact on the time we had with the ball.

Yes but that is not reason to consistently crab sideways. Do you think Cooper Cronk would do that? No. You dig into the line. No coach wants their half repeatedly running across field 30m doing what Moses did tonight.

From 12 runs. That’s about 5.5m per run. He ran some metres but they weren’t effective runs where he engages the line and creates space outside him.

It’s frustrating because he has a good running game when he uses it properly. Last week he ran through the middle and he was sublime. Tonight he wanted to run around them.

Perhaps he could to learn to wave players underneath like he just dropped one, ala Sandow.....

Was that our round 1 forward pack?

No, T-Rex didn't play till about round 4 or 5. Cameron King started at 9. Kenny Edwards for some reason wasn't even in our round 1 side.

 

[parra pete]

With an ounce of luck, and being a positive thinker, it could have been 18-16.
Converted (disallowed tries) to Norman and Moses..and that gift two points from the shot clock taken off.
Bloody stiff....

 

[robert gower]

we had enough ball to win unfortunatly they shut down Hayne & the 2 Jennings boys but there defense on the night was too good

 

[Noise]

The merkins clapped Slater off. I would have preferred it if Hayne just head butted him.

 

[Gronk]

I'm not saying we were good. But they got the calls early on. And maybe after all that posession Mahoney just couldn't do 80 minutes this time.

Those f**king 5 penalties in a row in the first half took the wind out of our sails for sure.

Lol...They wouldn't make the bush league side.

Eels fans are delusional

 

[T-Boon]

I did notice how much better they were in the wrestle. So many times their guys found their stomachs, while ours ended up on their backs.

It is such a great part of the game.
